you think volunteering to give food to homeless people is morally wrong too ? |
Yes, it is self serving. It doesn't solve the problem, but eases one's conscience for "doing what they can." Different people have different thresholds, but ultimately their conscience is eased enough that they do nothing more well before the problem is corrected, sustaining the state of misery and ensuring it is still there in the future for them to repeat their meaningless contribution, feel better about their incomplete contribution and be more thankful for what they have.
Very few people are willing to pay the price of correcting the issue, whether it be material or emotional.
